Revelation 18:4–5 warns

 Revelation 18:4–5 warns God’s people to “come out” of Babylon so they will not share in her sins or receive her plagues, because her sins have “piled up to heaven” and God has remembered her crimes. 


Full Text (Major Translations)

New International Version (NIV)

“‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.”


King James Version (KJV)

“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.”


Context

These verses appear in a section describing the fall of “Babylon the Great,” symbolizing the sinful and false religion opposed to God. The call to “come out” is a command for separation from its sinful practices to avoid sharing in its judgment. 


The passage emphasizes divine justice and the certainty of Babylon’s downfall.

Chapter 3 Why the Bible doesn't say what the songs say?

  Chapter 3 Why the Bible doesn't say what the songs say?   It is true that the Bible speaks about God, the heavenly Father and Creator of all, about his Son and about His spirit, the holy spirit, however, if we read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, we find the testimony that there is only One true God, the Father only. Here are some examples: Exodus 20:1. And God spoke all these words: 2.“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3.“You shall have no other gods before a me.” Matthew 4:10: "Jesus said to him, 'Away from me, Satan! For it is written: "Worship the LORD (YHWH) your God, and serve him only. (quote from the Old Testament) We see this from Exodus 20 and John 17:3: "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." 1Corinthians 8:5-6: “For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many ...

Chapter 4 A mysterious verse: “All the angels of God worship him”

  Chapter 4 A mysterious verse: “All the angels of God worship him ”   In the work of repositioning the Christian theology according to the classic reading of the Bible, we must compare manuscripts and evaluating playback variants which sometimes occur in certain places (verses). This is a vital duty to ensure that we are on the path followed by the early classic Christians. The Epistle to Hebrews chapter 1 contains some elements that need to be discussed carefully: We refer to a phrase from the Septuagint - a quote in verse 6 (“All the angels of God worship him”) - which in the ancient Hebrew text (the Masoretic text) does not exist at all. There is neither in the Samaritan text (Pentateuch) nor in certain versions (revisions) of the Septuagint. We will not find this phrase in the Old Testament as translated by many good and well known authors. How we make our decisions? How do we will interpret the missing text? A learned textual critic wrote that in a cave n...

Can anyone take the role of Jesus Christ in the life of faith?

There cannot be any special individuals (brothers) among us who can take the role of Jesus Christ in the life of faith, and in the following Bible verse we will see why: John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but by me.” According to this Bible verse, it is very clear who leads the New Testament Church and who gives us our laws, who shows us the way, who gives us the truth, and who gives us eternal life: Only Jesus Christ. Jehovah God has not appointed another or others. Satan cannot be defeated except by following the obedient guidance of Jesus Christ, and whoever stops following him is in danger. Matthew 7:13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it. 14 But narrow is the gate and narrow is the road that leads off into life, and few are the ones finding it. During the nearly six thousand years of human history, Satan, the ...
